It may seem harmless, but it is not. Here's the reason why sleeping near your electronics is a bad idea.

If you're one of those people who has developed a habit of sleeping next to their cellphones and other electronics, you need to stop this deadly act right now. Recent studies show that electronics impose a hazard to your brain which can cause serious health risks.

Experts have warned us to refrain from this harmful habit, and there's a good reason why. All electronic devices including power lines, appliances and computers emit Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs). These are invisible electrical and magnetic field which is produced anytime you use your appliances or electronics.

Though it may seem harmless, studies revealed that prolonged exposure to EMF is slowly 'frying' your brain and can cause permanent damage, including brain cancer. Blog.naturalnews.com lists the possible ways EMF can harm your brain.

People who sleep next to their smartphones are the most vulnerable to EMF exposure since most of the time, smartphones are positioned close to the head. World Health Organization has included smartphones in the list of cancer-causing category such as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.

If you continue this habit for a long time, you are also subjecting yourself to diziness, headache, sleep disorder, benign tumors and even Alzheimer's. This is because EMFs can penetrate your brain by as much as 1-1/2 inches.

The Journal of the American Medical Association wrote that holding an activated smartphone close to your head for an hour changes your brain metabolism and slows down your brain's reaction time. If these are the adverse effects for using you phone in an hour, what more can a whole night's sleep do?

In order to avoid this, manage your time when it comes to using your smartphones. As much as possible, limit it to avoid prolonged EMFs exposure. Also, sleeping with your phone under your pillow is just as bad as sleeping next to it. One thing that can also help you is to always put away your phone before you go to sleep, and turn it off when you can.

So the next time you're too lazy to put away your phone before you sleep, consider the effect of this habit for the rest of your life. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.
